7.2 Release kills my XP Dual Boot

Hi, Kent

You're going to need to provide a bit more detail on the problem.

XP doesn't show up in the bootloader?

If you're running 7.X, why are you using a 6.X boot disk?  That may be
part of the problem.

Do you see the FreeBSD booloader or Windows bootloader?

Not that this fixes the problem, but have you tried installing GRUB?

I personally have been dual-booting for the past year+, and haven't
seen what you're describing (unless I overwrote my ${OTHER_OS}
installation) -- are you sure the Windows install still exists?
